Guys I feel so bad. I know I shouldn't. This guy has been showing us houses for about 7 months.
We put a bid on a house a few months ago and had it inspected. Then decided the house was not for us b/c there was no bathroom upstairs. Recently I noticed this house was back on mls. Anyway when I asked the realtor he said the sellers were mad that we backtracked out of the deal and took it off the market (sort of implying it was our fault they were mad). Meanwhile the house is STILL on the market and they just reduced the price b/c no one wants it.
We felt so guilty about the house above that we put an offer on another house we liked (not loved). We had an engineer come in but I still had DOUBTS. It didn't feel right but we put in a bid b/c I felt pressure from the realtor and my husband to pick a house since we had been looking for so long. Well I convinced my husband we should just look with another real estate b/c we were not in contract yet and this current seller doesn't want to move until Dec.
So Friday afternoon this OTHER realtor calls me twice and says she thinks she found a house that's perfect for us. Well it's the first house both my husband and I said wow it's everything we wanted and we put in an offer Sat. We are waiting to hear.
Anyway I wanted to be honest with the realtor and we called to tell him we didn't want the other house anymore. We told him we went with another house w/ another real estate. He yelled at me for 15 minutes telling me I wasted his time and runined his reputation b/c this is the 2nd house with his agency we back out of.....he made me feel so horrible.

Re: Real estate Update: Good news
Irenie,
Congrats on getting the house!!!
I'm a realtor....please don't everyone yell at me!
I can understand why your original realtor was mad, but there was no reason he should have yelled at you and made you feel the way you did, but you need to understand that by working with him for 7 months, he depended on your transaction as part of his salary.
Believe me, I've been through it too...had a listing that people backed out of and got away with (lucky they didn't get sued)....but I kept my mouth shut through it all. This realtor ruined his own reputation by yelling at you....would you ever refer anyone to him after what happened?? I don't think so! He is the reason why so many of us get bad names!!!
I'm glad you ended up finding the right house! Good luck!!!
